MINNESOTA NEWS
DR.. Anes Takes . Gsveraer's OATH.

Dr.. A. A. Ames OF Minneapolis, late demo.
cratic candidate for governor OF Minnesota.
appeared in the police court at st. Paul
on the 4th, lifted his hand and subscribed
to and took the following oath:
!, "A. A. Ames, do sOlemDly swear that
I will support tho constitution OF the
United States, the constitution OF the state
Of Minnesota and discharge the duties Of
governor OF the state OF Minnesota to the
best OF my power and ability: so help me
God. A. A. AMEs.
With this docu ment DR.. Ames returned
to the capitol, and visited the secretary OF
state, in whose poss ession, according to
the requirements OF law. it was left.
Judge Cory of tho Police court said
that he intended to follow the same course
as that OF a Wisconsin candidate Tor govern
or some years ago. He does not intend to
make any effort to interfere with Gov. Nc.
Gill in the duties of his Office, but viii
hereafter attempt to prove fraud in the
election. The contest will probably not be
brought on before tho legislature closes, il
ever.
Ex-Attorney General Hahn was seen rel
alive to the legal aspect OF the action TAX
en- by Mr.. Ames. He said:
There are in the state three coordinate
bodies or branches the executive, the leg
islative and the judicial. They are CO
ordinate. l say, and, being CO. ordinate,
are equal; and body equal to another
body but not superior, has no restraining
power over it. Ames cannot issue or cause
to be issued any Injunction in any
way to prevent Gov. McGill from
taking his seat. He cannot 60 tc
any court to secure such an injunction.
for the reason that the executive Office, as
have stated, is coequal with the judicial, and
an injunction to prevent a governor-elect
from taking his place could not issue from
the supreme court. The taking Of the oath
OF Office by Ames will have no effect what
ever in case OF contest. The contest, If be
gum will probably last for months. Nc
Gill will most assuredly be governor in tbs
takes the oath OF Office. and he remains so.
unless. in case OF q contest, 1t is decided
against him.
